Hi Bruce,

Good news - this is giving all-green results:
http://crucible.osdl.org/runs/branches.html 

Report is available here:
   http://crucible.osdl.org/runs/2766

The cthon and newpynfs failures that had been occuring since the last
release appear to be resolved.

Iozone read performance is also improved by about 50% from
2.6.18-rc6-CITI.  (We've seen this improvement in all 2.6.19-rc* based
kernels).
